[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 64069, member: 77"] Don't agree with all of that, but I do with some. Nesbitt, I agree. I said not to scrap the partials altogether, just be extremely judicious. Before APR we could get kids to stay eligible w/o graduating them. Not any more. That's huge, imo. How many of Ross' players would have been eligible on today's standards (APR)? O'Leary was better, I admit, but nowhere near Johnson. You also say "good kids" and "work ethic." Academic performance and priority usually take care of that for you. Not in all cases, but in most. I'm not saying that all high "S's" are good kids with strong work ethic and I'm not saying all low "S's" (Nesbitts, etc.) are bad kids with weak work ethics. I'm willing to step back a little and say it needs to be at least an equal priority. Kids who have no interest in school or their future after football don't need to be at Tech. It's setting them up, as well as the program, for failure and misery. You also didn't address the point I made about how it cuts down on kids flipping the last week before NSD. That is another huge incentive. [/QUOTE]
